What's a stage 2+ ed30 matched to?

[JackG]

Hi guys,
Recently had my ed30 stage 2+ (DSG stage 2 aswell) got me thinking what it's matched too on the acceleration scale?
I don't really race on the roads and my cars not a track car.....just yet  so in terms of a long road with a few bends in it what would match them at 2+? Are they with the E46 M3 or TTRS? I have no idea but it's got me thinking!

My bro in laws killed m3s, never went up against ttrs but am certain once rolling he would have had no problem. The car was phenomenally quick. Problem was he drove like a twat everywhere. Such a nob

I am actually dissapointed with stage2+. Thought it be epic fast but due to the weight of the Golf it dont really perform!

I cant beat my mates MK4 Golf vf34 turbo at top end and thats only running 310hp.

What 2+ file you using? Doesn't sound right!

Revoo... its right thats for sure. I have a friend of a friend with another ED30 stage2+  (revo) who went up against him and couldnt do him. My mates MK4 is disgusting quick for what it is. Stripped out / water meth / vf34. i would say its like around 1100kg compare to ours 1350kg.

My Starlet turbo 270hp would keep up with it. But thats now long gone :(

Power to weight mate.

if you comparing it to a car with better power to weight and you're disappointed...start stripping you car

I've been thinking about knocking some weight of my car but I don't want to take the aspect of a "golf" away so it still has to be practical,

TT/alloy hubs and arms
Leight weight battery
Carbon bonnet (painted)
Pro race 1.2
Porka brakes
Remove spare wheel and tool kit

I don't want to start taking my interior out or loosing air con, what KG's would the above knock of at a rough estimate?

He actually ran a hybrid on there for a couple of days and i saw that on the rollers down at statllers , im not going to say what it put out coz then People start saying its impossible, but i know what i saw and it was ridiculous. I actually drove it and it was as you would say, epic. It was pulling the car all over.

I had an e46 m3 and the stage 2+ eddy would eat it up too a ton ish. it wouldnt beat a ttrs thought the times they put down are almost supercar quick,  tbh theres not much out there that would beat you i reccon e9* M3 up to about 100 would be simelar or an rs4 nothing in a hot hatch should come close really

[gazon69]

Personally i think the ttrs puts down super times is because of launch control and dsg. I went up against 1 at inters last year, he was 3sec faster 0-60 but over the finish line was only
2 sec faster. I have manual and no launch. And he was stage 1

Only 2 seconds faster. That is a lifetime on the quarter mile. And the DSG has not been out long so it was probably a manual. Everybody knows  a stage 2+ ED 30 is very fast but a TTRS is on another level.

Deffo dsg as when we got to the end i asked him what he was running and he told me the above. But ye very quick. Imo it didnt look too far a gap by the end. I understand what your saying though but like i said, i got a second back on him from the start

[JackG]

I'd love to race a E* M3 or RS4 now 
I've got the new revo map and it pulls right to 7 and a half K and you can feel it kick at 7K still so I'd say at above 100 my Eddie is very strong! Not sure what's its compared to tho as I don't have the balls to mess about on the road at around 100MPH 

[gazon69]

It will keep with them trust me

Have a look at this...

The red Golf is a K04 car and the yellow Audi is a Stage 3 APR with a GT28 but because the yanks use crap fuel an English Stage 2+ Edition 30 would probably be on its tail...

The camera car is a V8 R8. Very little if anything in it!
